The social wombat

Today my colleague brought to my attention that even in a foreign country with a bunch of strangers I cannot fight my need to jam pack my schedule full of social activites and rally everyone I see (and cannot see due to poor vision) to join me.  I guess I can dare to say that no matter what continent I am on... I am the ring leader.  I have managed to rally a team of 6 people to go dinner for half-price mussels and beer in 5 short minutes,  invited myself to a private live showing of the musical coming out in London named Tap Dogs on Friday, convince a Dutch girl who does not know me to spend $400.00 and jump out of a plane this Saturday (it is booked and we are good to go),  persuaded my co-worker and her husband to bring me to an AFL Sydney Swans game on Sunday, rallied all the girls in the office to see Sex and the City 2 on Monday,  AND got Jan Cuke, crazy neighbor Jane, and Simone to go see some drama playing at the Opera house on Tuesday.   These poor suckers don't even know what hit them.   They don't have a fighting chance.  ;)

Here are some pics of the glorious mussels.  They are so delicious.  I am obsessed with food.  I know.
